—Zero Impact tries to envelop the existential dread of being mediocre in a world full of excellence, where the thing you want to do the most has already been done better than you ever could, in the coat of a linear rhythm-based action adventure with cute angry critters and electronic music.
Zero Impact
SteamHelp x'Ar The Explorer, the lizard explorer find his place in the universe in this action-packed rhythm-based top-down space adventure derby!

Space is a nasty place. Full of vicious outlaws, terrorists who want nothing more than to destroy the Lekrad regime and everyone in it! Engage in rhythm-based combat, and leverage incoming energy by parrying and riposting in beat with the music!

When you're not busy fighting for your life, why not talk with several charming (and charmless) lizards inhabiting the Lekrad Orbital Platform and the nearby space to find out what they need and learn about your job, the sector, and yourself?

Oh no! Are the enemies coming in greater numbers and stronger? Adapt! Upgrade your spaceship's speed, agility, and damage, and unlock unique abilities (like impact-assisted asteroid redirection).
*cut-scenes may be skipped but it'll make the lizard sad :c (unless you're in a hurry)

A small part of the entire universe is in your hands! Your ship is equipped with several scanners, which let you gain information about objects around you, as well as scan the sector to discover Points of Interest, which hold, well, interesting things.
Beware though! Sending out signals might attract some unwanted attention.
This game, music, and most other assets were made by webik150. Zero Impact was created as my diploma project at the Department of Game Design at FAMU to experiment with intuitive rhythm gameplay.
Wow, you made it all the way down here? Have a Pizzové! Eat it while it's hot.
